Let's move on to Four Thoughts on sport to get us rolling this morning. Thought one is, well, is Harley Reid in doubt for the Western Derby on Friday night. And coach Andrew McWalter was confident on Channel 7 News last night that he gets up for the game after that ankle tweak against Brisbane last weekend. You have to say the Eagles need Harley to have a chance in this one. They've been more competitive. It is execution rather than method letting them down in critical moments in games. They'll be outsiders in this Derby anyway. If Harley does play, I don't think they can win if he doesn't play, especially with the suspension to co-captain Liam Baker. Thought two, and speaking of suspensions, I'm not sure what made Adelaide think they were a good chance of having the three-game ban to Darcy Fogarty overturn for a reckless high tackle on Swann Harry Cunningham. Now, Baker might have flown carelessly into Cam Reiner and clipped him high, but Fogarty has flat out belted Cunningham in the side of the head with a very sloppy tackle. Thought three, Freemantle comes off a moderate performance against Port Adelaide running into the Derby, and one thing the Dockers must fix in the next month is centre clearance. Port's Young engine room spanked them 12-2 at centre clearance before half-time on Saturday.
Some of the Dockers' efforts in winning and then retaining the ball in there were pretty underwhelming. They fixed it to get the win, but they will want that area of their game humming in September. And finally, Thought four, Interesting coming on top of what we said about Nathan Buckley yesterday. Bucks has admitted he has a fork in the road over his coaching aspirations after being overlooked for the Tassie Devil's job. He said he went home, kicked the dog, threw the toys out of the cot, and to sit down and have a bit of a think about things.
He's kicking the dog and Barnaby Joyce is yelling at his.
Give us your thoughts, everyone. Do you think Nathan Buckley will coach an AFL club again? He's all but ruled himself out of the processes at Carlton and Essendon.
Let's face it at Essendon, he's not James Hurd, so he's not getting that one. But will he coach anywhere at some stage in the future? 487 736 736, that is the text line. Let's have your thoughts and questions. 13 12 55 is the Bower and Doday open line. Bower and Doday because the little things are everything. After the break, we'll be talking to the Guardians, Jonathan Horne. Made in WA for WA. This is Mornings with Mark Duffield on SENWA.
